Lovely weather for outdoor knitting

I love Tuesdays! I get to meet with my Chicks. The hot topic today was bears! Oh my! The knitters were disappointed that the day a juvenile bear decided to visit my yard about 30 feet from where we all sit, was not a day when we were out here knitting. I know bears visit the neighborhood around here at night because many neighbors have hard evidence what with broken fences, droppings, and crushed bird feeders. This particular day was a shocker because “Yogi” strolled by at 1:30 in the afternoon! Let’s hope he found a nice den somewhere way away from the population.
Janna’s Totally Biased cowl is coming along nicely. And check out how nice it looks against her shirt.
Debbie’s hat has a few more stripes added to it. She doesn’t have much leisure time for knitting since her grandchildren live nearby.
Jan’s Irma hat is slow going. She, much like me, has multiple projects going at once so they take a little longer to finish. But it’ll get done.
Cinzia’s Workday Scarf looks so pretty in this tonal color yarn. Tonal yarns are great for patterns where you want a bit of interest without it interfering with the lacework.
Im using the same stitch pattern from a shawl I made but using the basic pattern from emPower People cowl by Casapinka’s to make an asymmetrical triangular cowl.
Cinzia’s daughter Sofia visited today. She’s working on a nice, cozy scarf using a variation of the Mistake stitch.
Here is Barbara K.’s Mistake Stitch Scarf in a rich raspberry color. The thick fabric it creates makes a warm scarf.
Margaret’s Sightseer cowl is getting longer with every row. Since it’s a slipped stitch pattern technique, it takes a little longer to make progress but it’s looking great.

 Another week gone by which brings us closer to the end of summer. Hopefully we’ll be able to sit out here on the deck well into an Indian summer. Keep those needles clicking!
